When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 729.
A cube number is a value obtained by raising a number to the power of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times. When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a negative number, the result is always negative. This is because a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 729 can be written as 729³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 729 × 729 × 729.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help in cubing the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated addition. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number.729³ = 729 × 729 × 729
Step 2: You get 387,420,489 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 729 is 387,420,489.
The formula (a + b)³ is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 1: Split the number 729 into two parts. Let a = 700 and b = 29, so a + b = 729
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 700³
3a²b = 3 × 700² × 29
3ab² = 3 × 700 × 29²
b³ = 29³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(700 + 29)³ = 700³ + 3 × 700² × 29 + 3 × 700 × 29² + 29³
729³ = 343,000,000 + 42,630,000 + 17,661,000 + 24,389
729³ = 387,420,489
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 729 is 387,420,489.
To find the cube of 729 using a calculator, input the number 729 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 729 × 729 × 729. This operation calculates the value of 729³, resulting in 387,420,489. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 7 followed by 2 and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 729³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 729 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 387,420,489.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:
What is the cube and cube root of 729?
The cube of 729 is 387,420,489 and the cube root of 729 is 9.
First, let’s find the cube of 729.
We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 729³ = 387,420,489
Next, we must find the cube root of 729 We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛729 = 9
Hence the cube of 729 is 387,420,489 and the cube root of 729 is 9.
If the side length of the cube is 729 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 387,420,489 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 729 for the side length: V = 729³ = 387,420,489 cm³.
How much larger is 729³ than 400³?
729³ – 400³ = 332,420,489.
First find the cube of 729³, that is 387,420,489
Next, find the cube of 400³, which is 64,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
387,420,489 – 64,000,000 = 323,420,489
Therefore, 729³ is 323,420,489 larger than 400³.
If a cube with a side length of 729 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 729 cm is 387,420,489 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 729 means multiplying 729 by itself three times: 729 × 729 = 531,441, and then 531,441 × 729 = 387,420,489.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 387,420,489 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 728.9 using the cube of 729.
The cube of 728.9 is approximately 387,420,489.
First, identify the cube of 729, The cube of 729 is 729³ = 387,420,489.
Since 728.9 is only a tiny bit less than 729, the cube of 728.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 729.
The cube of 728.9 is approximately 387,420,489 because the difference between 728.9 and 729 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 387,420,489.
